Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken on land at 3, Church Lane, Leicestershire by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) 15th February 2011. The initial potential of the site was highlighted by an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (Tann 2006) which indicated that the development area was located within a distinct land-block which may represent a Saxon and medieval manorial centre. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken for an earlier application (McDaid and Field 2007) and this highlighted the potential for archaeological features to be present within the proposed area for construction of a new outbuilding. A single trench was excavated to evaluate an area for a proposed outbuilding located immediately to the west of the earlier application area. The trench contained archaeological remains which comprised an earth bank and part of a pond. The bank contained pottery suggesting a possible late medieval to early post-medieval date and both features may be associated with the medieval manorial complex. The site archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council under accession number X.A18.2011. |
